intro zxturbo build

[erikzx]

hey guys my name is erik

im from las vegas,

 

first car was a 240sx ka24et car sold years ago,

daily driver is a 2007 dodge ram,

 

just got a 110k mile 280zx turbo 5spd

got it as a trade for an old truck,

 

car is an original las vegas car, never left city,

found the original owners manual on the car,

(they where using it to hold aftermarket stereo in place lol ),

 

first thing i did was order new

ngk bpr6eix-11 sparkplugs (previously they had on car 3 different kind of sparkplugs O_o)

ngk 8105 wires (some wires where broke where they meet the sparkplugs)

dash cap for 130dllrs worth it! took off original dash fixed the cracks so that mould can fit nicely on top,painted black,

new led's for lighting on cluster and on the trigauge

also ordered a zccjdm bumper, wich its on its way, pricey but its going to look awesoome!

 

problems that im having at this moment , now im not sure if this happened before i took

off the dashboard is that the oil pressure gauge is at 0

tried cleaning connection and same happens,

everything else on the trigauge works,

 

also noticed that when i take off the oil cap or the oil dip stick the car loses power and dies,

i never had this happen to any of my cars before,

when you remove the oil cap or dipstick during operation it introduces pressure into the crankcase, which pretty much stalls the engine. I wpould replace the oil pressure sensor if it looks too old.

 

Also is this the front end you ordered?

 

Because mines a repro, but I got it for $300.

On the side of the block close to the oil filter you will see a brass cylindrical type fitting screwed into the block, this is your oil pressure sender. Check to make sure the wire that plugs into the top hasn't come loose, which could be why you're having a Zero reading,
